I am my own friend

I walk the world in search of a friend,
Crossing myriad paths with countless strangers
Who were embalmed in hype
Yet to find a stranger totally independent,
Still yet to meet a stranger who looks to the sky and commanded it to rain,  
Have not yet met a stranger whose anger quenches a raging fire,    
And no stranger's pity brought back the dead,    
And no stranger's word ever reached my heart... m
 
Disappointed, I turned
And walked back home.  
I have found no one-    
I am my own friend.
